My Story
After my second daughter was born in 2023, I faced a common struggle: balancing my hormones. I experienced adult acne, energy crashes, PMS, emotional outbursts, cramping, severe migraines, and even severely weakened teeth. This led me to question how I could consider myself a "fitness badass" yet not feel truly healthy internally and I refused to be a phony.
While often overlooked, men also experience hormonal cycles, just as women do. Hormones profoundly influence our daily lives, and an imbalanced endocrine system can severely impact well-being. This imbalance often signals underlying gut health issues, as the endocrine system and gut are intricately linked. The gut itself functions as a major endocrine organ, meaning dysfunction in one often leads to problems in the other. I was motivated to uncover the root causes of my body not functioning optimally. Beyond looking healthy and being physically strong, true well-being comes from feeling as good internally as you appear externally. Imagine achieving both, unlocking untapped potential by harmonizing these two aspects.
Having been deeply involved in the fitness community, particularly the bodybuilding world, I was taken back by the lack of attention given to the quality of food consumed and its impact on hormones, affecting both men and women. How can such impressive, extraordinary individuals neglect the nourishment they consume? Perhaps they simply don't know. We can now achieve optimal physical appearance and internal bodily function, the ultimate grand prize!
My passion for guiding others stems from this concern, similar to how I feel watching gym-goers use poor form—it breaks my heart. If you've been struggling with health and fitness, it's not entirely your fault. We live in a time where grocery store options are often either harmful "products" or truly nourishing foods, with little in between. If a product has a long list of unfamiliar ingredients, it's likely something to avoid. There's been a scarcity of reliable information and an abundance of misinformation.
This journey goes beyond the physical. Knowledge is power. Through learning and the process of trial and error, you'll feel increasingly empowered in your body, mind, and spirit. A strong body is the foundation, manifesting into a strong mind, and together, they synchronize with your spirit. I'm excited to embark on this journey of nourishment and fitness with you, guiding you to become your best self, inside and out!
